My absence since Monday was the result of a rogue BlogSpot algorithm that scans for blogs for potential spammers, I assume by targeting key words.
In a recent blog, I used the word “Viagra” and this is what caught the algorithm’s attention. Because of this, Google blocked my blog until it could confirm that a living human being was generating it.
They have determined I am human, and I am back.
However, what happens if I use another word, or set of words, that cause the algorithm to shut me down again.
I don’t self-censor, so I have loaded the title of this post with words that might set its lights ablinking.
Normally, if I am not going to post, I’ll leave a notice on my blog saying so. If you click on and I am missing for several days, you will be able to find Belacqua over at Word Press.
Regular posts will begin tomorrow morning, providing I haven’t been shut down again.

and are we surprised that the beast Google has decided to block 'anyone' including a lowly blogger? it's been known for years that they block content at the request of governments - um, let's say china...
god forbid what will happen to our internet world when microsoft gets their hands on yahoo...that is whom they are buying, right?
Az,
That's who they are trying to buy.
Good hearing from you.
This is hilarious. Glad you're back!
It's great to be back. I was driving my wife crazy.
Welcome back, Cotter. I know it's Kotter but your first name and all. That Viagra is some potent stuff, he says assumingly...
